I'm not a big Pac music fan at all but you gotta cut the shit.
Pac was a better revolutionary than he was a rapper. Niggas can't be serious. That old bitter shit dead. If you look at it objectively, he had the perfect medium, and he had everyone's ears. I'm not sayin this guy would've reinvented the wheel because we don't know what would've stood in his way besides those bullets had he survived, but he definitely would have made somethin shake. That's more than 100% of the cooporate branded rappers we see now. Tupac was a star rapper, actor and all of the above, but he was a real nigga at heart, and that's why everybody loved him. Stop bein a hater bruh. Of course he's not a martin or malcolm. The circumstances didn't place him in those shoes, he was about to embark on shit before he died, he just never got a chance. It was all in his music(white mans world, brendas got a baby, keep your head up, pain ect....). If you can't see that, either you're bitter, or you're slow. Either way, I wish you the best OG.

I got this link from @Gorillawithattitude. He posted it to support whatever point he was trying to make in another thread. It made me laugh so hard I figured I'd make a thread about it.
First he claims to be "the future of the Black community" then @ 3:50 he says he's gonna sign Melle Mel and Scorpio ( From Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5) to his record label. he goes on the say that he's going to unite all the gangs.
I know there's a lot of Tupac dickriders on this site that think everything he said is gospel. But seriously, if you listen to what he's saying, he's just dreaming out loud. PAC was a phenomenal MC and was good at writing rhymes/poetry but public speaking is a completely different skillset.
Keep in mind, on October 16, 1995 Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke in front of a million Black men in front of the Capital in Washington D.C. In the meanwhile Tupac was in jail for fucking a girl in the ass and gang raping her. A jury found him guilty.
Tupac has a lot of fans on the IC and all over America but it's time to call a spade a spade. People are comparing him to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Anybody that makes such a comparison has obviously never heard a Martin Luther King speech, or a Malcolm X speech. You must have heard president Obama speak. That's how you deliver a speech. You don't curse, use slang or the n-word. It's unprofessional and makes you look immature. How would Martin Luther King look calling people "niggas" and "bitches". PAC was nowhere near the level of Martin Luther King or Malcolm X.
I'm not saying that Tupac wasn't passionate or that he didn't mean well. He's one of my favorite MCs but that's where it ends. He didn't have the knowledge, vocabulary or insight to sit at the table with politicians and world leaders like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan or President Obama.
Gimmie a sec and I'll post some real speeches.
Bruh.... Malcolm was in jail before his switched his style up. It's common knowledge MLK was promiscuous. Jesse Jackson nigga don't make me laugh, we all men, and men have faults, that's why I don't follow no man off the ledge because I don't know what he ate for dinner last night before he shake my hand. You callin niggas pac dickriders, than you go out and post 100 different speeches to say Pac wasn't better than such and such. I love and respect all our leaders because they all brought something to the table that maybe the others couldn't. You could've easily named this thread "Black Excellence" and posted all those speeches and included pac and every nigga in here would've goated you because you had somethin for everybody. But no you wanna go out and defame one by uplifting all the others. Not to say that criticism ain't neccessary in all areas of life because that truth set you free, these dudes was doin shit that none of us was willin to do, and all were willing to die behind it, and a couple did. Ain't you in your 40s nephew? You gotta know this shit. You let Nas down with that bullshit you postin. The funny thing is, I bet you spat all that bullshit about pac because he was tryin to sign melle mel, it always points back at melle mel with you for some reason. Sheesh.
